Beware of lies

what are the chances of munching on a stick biscuit emblazoned with the words "beware of lies"?

Your Intellectual Type is Inventive Inquisitor. You have the unusual distinction of being equally good at math and verbal skills. This means you are a creative thinker and are uniquely good at teaching others through experiences. You are also a great improviser and very good at handling change.

Play back:
Please give me another chance

To write you another song

Take back those things I've done

Cause I'll give you my heart

If you would let me start all over again

crash and burn

i think a part of me just died.

the walls are closing in on me.

dragged to the abyssal depths where noone, not even you, can reach me.

gonna crash & burn for now,
please let me heal later.

to my bestie

happy 21st,
my moral center of the universe.

i (heart) you.

to my dearest cousin

happy 23rd birthday.
your gift is on its way.

love and misses,
needless for more words.

small is beautiful

/petite lil' bookstore much to my liking.

mondays made more bearable with wakana-san around.
it's time, but the crankiness hasn't quite set in yet.

mood is weather dependent.

frustrating is to hot & humid, just as:
a) stupid : thunderstorms
b) dumb: cloudy
c) retarded : light showers
d) needy : chilly
e) none of the above.

good luck, and goodbye

days 00 hrs 00 mins 58 secs 02

counting down to a miracle.
to the mark of new history.
to multitudinous cries worldwide.

good luck, and goodbye.

6th Shanghai Nanjing Road Sculpture Exhibition

my favourite piece.
you only see what your heart wants you to see.

lost in translation

here i sit, staring blankly at the overwhelming chinese characters.

inadequate & frustrated.
ignoring the backdrop calls that beckon.

last i heard was "janice, we're going to Wuxi at 11."

been feeling a surge of emotions the past 3 days that i'm not sure if i am able to comprehend.

slightly more than an hour to prepare.
i'll get back to this mystifying realm of i-don't-know-what-to-call-it again.

to my heart's content

/le grandeur arrival.

/beautiful people.

/toodles noodles. be back for you again.

/the L affair & solitary pukefest.

/table 108 of the musically inclined.

/s.EX incomplete.

/bonbon, shanghai.

/superstar.
missin' you

Les Miserables

greeted by chill winds, besprinkled with occasional droplets. narrow spaces, unwashed hair, grimy fingers, unshaven pits, nauseating smell...umbrellas carried around like weaponry, threatening to disfigure oblivious faces or steal one's sight. what more could you possibly add on, to dampen the mood of the home\lovesick?
sarcasm.
nonchalance.
tension.
followed by an aggravated case of insomnia.

baby, please spare me the misery.
am sorry for the irrational, senseless harsh words hurled at you in fits of anger and distress.
it's the workings of my defense mechanism.
please try to understand.
i love you.

Afterall

OSKA sent 8/30/2006 2:43 AM:
I know in my heart and mind
That no matter, come what may, love will survive

After all
I will be the one to hold you
I will be the one to hold you in my arms

teared at the sight of the lyrics.
teared at the sight of oska's photos.

love.
